While I'm deep in writing the book for my Fish Bone China course, I wanted to share a pair of piala cups I made on commission using the Bone-Tsugi technique. 🤍

These pieces are extraordinarily thin: wall thickness ranges from 0.5–1.5 mm, the rim is about 2 mm, and the crack lines themselves are just 0.05–1 mm wide.

It took six firings to achieve this level of intricacy in the crack pattern.

Each piala holds 60 ml. Every piece is one of a kind. 📖

I'm not taking new commissions right now — all my time is going into the course. But there are still finished pieces waiting for new owners in the gallery 🔗 take a look, link in bio.

This bowl is one of four, and it's called "Peacock Eye."
For a while, I had been thinking about concentric patterns like a peacock's eye, rendered in Fish Bone China. On this piece, I tried to bring that idea to life for the first time.
Inlaying such decorative details into the wall is no simple task: different layers have different moisture content during shaping, and that difference often causes cracks at the seams. But it seems Fish Bone China forgives this variance with striking ease — and that's genuinely astonishing.
The classic Nerikomi technique was almost never used in bone china because of its low plasticity — the material simply couldn't withstand such manipulation without cracking. But Fish Bone China's plasticity is unusually high, and that allows working in the Nerikomi technique without much difficulty.
And what that means is that the limits we've assumed were unbreakable for bone china for centuries never really belonged to the material at all — they belonged to our assumptions about it.

Object No. 1/2 // Bone-Ash Glaze Cup
The Story of the Piece
This cup, in its classic conical shape, owes its character to the glaze itself — made with the addition of fish bone ash. During firing, this glaze becomes textured and cracked, almost dimensional. It carries me back to places I love deeply — limestone cliffs and caves — and the crackle lines, free of any predetermined design, remind me of ancient petroglyphs etched into stone.
This is a deeply tactile piece — one you want to hold and turn in your hands, the way you'd turn a Tibetan prayer wheel.

Object No. 6 // Bone-Tsugi Teacup
The Story of the Piece
The emergence of this teacup is the result of prolonged experimentation and a deliberate embrace of destructivism. At the core of its philosophy lies the concept of destruction as a necessary catalyst for a deeper rebirth of material form. Following its initial bisque firing, the vessel was intentionally shattered into numerous fragments, then meticulously reassembled and fused back into a single, cohesive form.
In the global practice of fine porcelain, restoring a shattered object prior to final high-temperature firing has long been considered technologically impossible. To reconstruct this teacup, the original liquid slip was combined with a dark pigment to bind the shards. Subsequent firing at 1240°C yielded a monolithic structure of extreme tensile strength, ensuring the vessel will never rupture along its historical fracture lines.
One of one. Never to be repeated.

🌅Tableware made from fish bones — Fish Bone China — is fired at a very high temperature of 1240°C. This makes it extremely durable, resistant to water and dirt, warm to the touch, and remarkably translucent. Fish bones cannot be replaced with any other type of bone or artificial substitute. Fish bone is exceptionally porous, since fish live in water. This porosity is exactly what allows Fish Bone China to achieve such remarkable translucency and strength — and it's what sets it apart from classic bovine bone china. For more on this from a scientific perspective, check the link in my bio.🫶

Bone ash can produce various effects in glazes across different temperature ranges, from low-fire glazes to fritted and ash high-fire glazes. It can be used either as simply calcined bone ash or as fired at high temperatures, the so-called stabilized bone ash. They behave very differently and yield distinct effects. In this cup, I applied a glaze with a very high percentage of bone ash after regular calcination—this resulted in a beautiful rough surface with crackle.

Our wounds can become our strength. Working with Fish Bone China, the most temperamental material in ceramics, has taught me to turn all of its whims and flaws into strength. Why did I break this cup? Because it is one of the very few materials that can be glued together while still porous and then fired at 1240°C. These are its wounds and pain, blended with my stubborn labor. A kind of challenge, and a profound respect for life🌷

Here is the result of the technique I mentioned in my last post. Because of the uneven wall thickness, the porcelain created these light leaks. In the spirit of wabi-sabi, the light itself has become part of the object's form. When I was sketching this shape, I kept thinking of Middle Eastern architecture—its strict symmetry, small windows, and traditional mashrabiya screens. This cup is piece No. 6 from my "every piece is unique" marathon.

It’s hard to believe, but it’s true! 🧠 Our bodies can heal broken bones, and even teeth can regenerate. I’ve found a way to bring this exact type of miracle into the world of ceramics.By adding bone ash to the porcelain, I make it behave much like a living organism. I took this broken cup, pieced it back together, and fired it at 1240°C (2264°F). The seams you see here are now incredibly strong. If this cup drops or faces extreme thermal shock, it might crack anywhere else—but never along these seams.I’ve uncovered a genuine technological wonder, and I’m certain its impact will go far beyond art ceramics.
